If you’re looking for a great place to holiday this summer, a place that is pretty much guaranteed to offer you sun sand and exciting attractions, then you need look no further than Florida in the USA.

Whether you are looking for a laid back getaway or a fun-filled family trip, Florida certainly fits the bill. The Sunshine State is home to sandy beaches aplenty, some of the best theme parks on the planet, endless outdoor activities and attractions and some of the best hotels in the West. Not convinced? Check out these awesome Florida attractions, and you’ll soon be planning a Summer Fling with Florida:

Disney World, Orlando

Let’s get it over and done with – you simply cannot mention Florida, and it’s biggest and best assets, without mentioning Disney World. If you have children, you can bet your bottom dollar that they’ll, be dreaming about going to the Magic Kingdom and if you decided to take them there, you’ll have so much joy watching their little face light up as they meet Mickey Mouse or the characters from Frozen. Apart from the obvious, you’ll find great food, fabulous hotels and even some pretty great spas and bars at Disney World, making it the perfect family destination.

Blue Spring State Park, Orange Park

If you and your family love the great outdoors and you want to go on a trip where you will be active and spend lots of time out in nature, Florida is a great choice because it is home to numerous beaches, parks and freshwater springs. Arguably, Blue Spring State Park is the best place to enjoy the outdoors of Florida because it is spread out over 2,600+ acres of land and the St. John River. That means you can walk, paddle, kayak and swim ‘til your heart’s content. Oh, it reaches a staggering 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer too!

SunQuest Cruises, Miramar Beach

If you love being in the water as the sun beats down on you and you enjoy a fantastic meal, you’ll love the SunQuest Cruises that head off from Miramar Beach, where incidentally you’ll find one of the best places to stay in Florida, the Courtyard Sandestin at Grand Boulevard. The cruises take you out along the Emerald Coast for some amazing sightseeing and some even more amazing chef-prepared food. There’s also dancing and on special occasions, fireworks displays to keep you entertained. This is probably one for when you don’t have the kids with you though!

Bok Tower Gardens, Lake Wales

Bok Tower Gardens are probably the perfect place to spend hot summer days in Florida because they are home to some of the most amazingly lush landscapes and subtropical blooms that you will ever see. You could so easily spend all day staring at their beauty, although to do so would mean you couldn’t enjoy all the other amazing things the Sunshine State has to offer.

Rapids Water Park, Riviera Beach

The whole family will enjoy cooling down at Rapids Water Park, home to no less than 35 exciting water slides, including Big Thunder which makes you feel like you’re weightless and which sees you travelling through a tunnel at 20 miles per hour!
